We consider the robot exploration of a planar graphlike world. The robot's goal is to build a complete map of its environment. The environment is modeled as an arbitrary undi...

A number of recent technological trends have made data intensive applications such as continuous media audio and video servers a reality. These servers are expected to play an i...
We have been developing a theory of generic 2-D shape based on a reaction-diffusion model from mathematical physics. The description of a shape is derived from the singularities o...

Spatial orientation strongly relies on visual and whole-body information available while moving through space. As virtual environments allow to isolate the contribution of visual i...
Traditionally, levels of detail (LOD) for animated characters are computed from a single pose. Later techniques refined this approach by considering a set of sample poses and eval...
